Aerobics

The initial four-weeks of your aerobic program should include:

Using a treadmill, walking, riding a stationary bike or riding a regular bike for 30 - 45 consecutive minutes, 3 - 4 days a week at a moderate pace.

After the initial 4 weeks, increase the duration of the above activities to 45-60 consecutive minutes, 5 days a week at moderate to heavy pace.

The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise Include:

• Improvement in cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory function (heart and lungs)
• Increasing maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)
• Reduction in body fat and improved weight control
• Lowering heart rate and blood pressure at any level of submaximal exercise
• Increased blood supply to muscles and ability to use oxygen
• Lower resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure in people with high blood pressure
• Increased HDL Cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
• Decreased blood triglycerides
• Improved glucose tolerance and reduced insulin resistance
• Increased threshold for lactic acid accumulation
